813. Leblan M.

Master of the detective-adventure genre, Maurice Leblan (1864-1941), since childhood, dreamed of being a writer, but at first he had to work at a factory of textile equipment, then study the right, engage in journalism, and only then enter the chosen literary circle. Fame for Leblan came after the publication of the story “Arrest Arsen Lupin”, written by order of the Paris publisher. The prototype of the hero was anarchist Marius Jacob, a “noble robber”, who committed theft only among “social parasites” - clergy, judges, bankers and using very witty techniques.

Arsen Lupen - a noble, charming robber. Lupen brilliantly reveals confusing crimes, masterfully steals jewelry, leaving the police in fools, and even competes with the famous detective with Baker Street.

in “813” we meet Lupen, dark, almost frightening to us. Faced with the Machiavellist and invisible antagonist “L. M. ”, he will have to cleanse his name from vile accusations of crimes. And for this, find a pack of letters of explosive political content and decipher the value of the mysterious numbers “813”, the unraveling of which can lead to serious consequences for the whole of Europe.
